Maybe the same reason why, my friend Gavin, I am using webrick instead of
apache, or instiki instead of perlwiki, or ruby instead of perl/c/awk, no?
If I have all my utilities written in ruby, wouldn't that be great or am I
just being absurd?? In a sense, I am now concerned not just using the
utilities but also of the stuff these utilities are made of.. With ruby, it
is easy to see _that_ inside stuff.. (or maybe I'm getting very old that I
hate seeing c and perl code anymore :-()

with ruvi, I envision no limits, not even on features ;-) It's
easy/enjoyable hacking in ruby :-))
